Retirement Lists!!

Okay...so my BIG news that I mentioned previously is that I have become a Merchandiser with Chloe and Isabel. They are a new jewelry company that recently celebrated their third birthday...I LOVE everything about it...the product, quality, support, price and even their logo: Ca-ute!!!

These little birdies have taken up residency here at the Barker household. This last Tuesday I held my Grand Opening Pop-Up here at my home and I loved that fact that while I was preparing...my 'go-to' for decorations was still Stampin' Up!. I have embraced the fact that I am indeed a paper-crafter...it's in my blood!! It was funny trying NOT to use Stampin' Up!
Here was a banner I made:

Then using the same Etcetera DSP (130129) I made this cute frame:

There was glass, that I removed and screwed it tiny eyebolts. Added some wire and ta-da!! I love that I will be able to swap the paper out to coordinate a themed event or season!! (Thank-you Pinterest!) 


When you get a chance, stop by my online Boutique and see for yourself!! There is something for everyone!!

CC417 'Get Whale Soon'

Hope this post finds that you are doing well...no illnesses to speak of, no injuries and hopefully NO MORE COLD WEATHER!! It was a beautiful weekend here in Winchester, Va. Both Saturday and Sunday were close to 60 (give or take a couple degrees) and SUNNY!!! Before you know it..it will be allergy season and time to start mowing the grass!! Yay(well...not the allergy part)!

Yesterady I didn't get any stamping done...was kinda pooped after a visit from my personal trainer. Then my maid came and cleaned the house...then a chef made came and made a delicious dinner...Ha! Then I woke up!! So when the evening had ended..I enjoyed a glass bottle of red and watched the finale to the Bachelor.

Today however is a different story, I decided it was time to make some St. Patty's treats. Those I will share with you tomorrow. Along with a video perhaps...we'll see. I visited SCS and looked up the color combo for some inspiration.

CC417 is the 'Color Combo' for the day: 'A Certain, Bashful Delight'...cute!!! Yes, they are indeed some 'springy' colors but as I started thinking about what I was going to make, I first thought 'baby'. Funny how you start with an idea and it goes in a completely different direction! The dessert option was to add a critter of sorts (butterfly, dog, cat etc.), so I went with a whale~ that's a critter right??

This card I made for my mom, she broke her foot/ankle and is in a cast and wheelchair. Ouch! 
Supplies
Stamp Set: Oh, Whale (129132 C)
Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery
Ink: Bashful Blue, Cerainly Celery, Whisper White
Access: Big Shot (113439), Happy Whale Clearlits die (129403), linen thread (104199), Basic pearls (119247), Vintage Faceted Designer buttons (127555), stamping sponges (101610), glue dots (103683), dimensionals (104430), Needlepoint Textured impressions folder (129383), 3/4" circle punch (119873), large oval punch (119855), scallop oval punch (119856), scallop edge border punch (119882)~ and one more thing...can you guess??

Ahhh yes...you guessed it..I used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz AGAIN!!

Until next time,
Erin

Election Day!!! (and some pretty projects too!!)

Today is election day...did you vote??
I did...my husband and I ran out today after lunch and was glad (surprised really) to see that there wasn't a line!
I look forward to the next four years...hoping for a better country. May the best man win! I am also looking forward to no more commercials and ads!! Yikes...is it me or was it really bad this year??

Over the weekend I had a Workshop at my hostess/friend Gloria's home...it was so much fun! It was a small group (we had 6 people including myself). I think smaller groups are more intimate and we enjoyed a nice lunch. It was funny~we had taken a break for lunch and drinks (it's never too early for a glass of wine)and while we were just sitting there...with drinks in hand, her hubby Norman walked into the room....BUSTED!! It was cute~ he thought we were stamping...or supposed to be but nope!!

For a hostess "thank-you" gift~ I made another 'etched' glass vase. I used the leave image from the new die in the Holiday Catalog. I had thought about ordering this die...but then decided not to because I had the retired Leaves #2 die...very similar...but I LOVE this one more and the acorn??
So cute!!! Thank God my downline Beth had ordered it and let me borrow it (thanks Beth!). I filled with some decorate grassy stuff (not sure what it's called) and placed some acorns on top. Didn't think flowers would travel well in the car! Click here for a video tutorial I did on etched glass.

Here is a close-up:

We made 2 cards and a set of 4 coasters. The holidays are upon us~ crazy!!! But it's never too early to start thinking of gift giving...this one you might want to add to your fav's!

Here are the coasters:

Here is a close-up:
(front)

(back)

Directions: dust off tiles, stamp image that you plan on using with Staz-On ink and heat set the tile in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool and apply cork backing.

Here is the coolest part~ I bought the tiles from a home center store. They are tumbled marble tiles that come 9 to a box for less then $4.00 for the box! You can't get anything better than that for a beautiful handmade gift! You have to look through them to see which ones would be best for stamping on~ since it's tumbled marble...there are a few that have more imperfections than others and certain ones that are just...too pitted to stamp on.

Here is the card that we made to accompany the gift~

Close up:

It's prettier in person...because I added shimmer!! Hee hee...of course I did!! You just can't tell from this photo :(
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Sunflower (123606 W, 123608 C)
Card Stock: River Rock, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
Ink: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, River Rock, More Mustard
Access: stamping sponges (101610), Color Spritzer tool (107066), Early Espresso marker, Pool Party Seam binding ribbon (125582), Brushed Bronze Designer buttons (127833), Champagne Mist Shimmer paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol) (116806)

This next card was so easy~ no stamping!! It was inspired (practically CASED) by the ever so wonderful Shelli Gardner (Stampin' Up! CEO) . If you have not checked out her blog www.soshelli.com then make that a top priority...she has some beautiful projects posted!! Click here for the link to her beauty.

Supplies:
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, First Edition Specialty DSP (121878), Champagne Glimmer Paper (127885)
Access: Big Shot (113439), Autumn Accents Bigz die (127812), linen thread (104199), Square Lattice folder (119976)

See?? Not many materials needed and it can be for any occasion! Make something similar but smaller for place setting/name tags. Perfecto!

That's it for me today~ feels good to be a little caught up at home. I took down the Halloween decorations (sad, sad, sad) and put out the Thanksgiving ones...I even have bins in the attic for good ol' turkey day!! I think I need a bigger attic~yikes!!

 I was tempted to put up the tree...since we have two artificial trees what does it matter?? But I held back and gladly~ we are hosting Thanksgiving this year and it feels good to have a little change of scenery around the house...wanna a sneak peek?

Check out my mice~

Take care and happy stampin'~ let me know if you have any question, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

The dessert option was to make a 'Fall' themed card.

When I read the colors chosen, I was excited~ but then when I went to stamp...I noticed that I didn't really have much left in my 'Pumpkin Pie' stash...(after a quick panic attack) I grabbed a piece of More Mustard CS instead for the card base and went to work. When I was coloring the leaves...I used mostly More Mustard ink...but here and there added some Pumpkin Pie.

Stamp Set: Gently Falling (123804 C), Blooming with Kindness (126422 C)
Card Stock: More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla

Note: After trimming the piece of bulap, I used a leftover strand to thread the button (looks just like our linen thread!)

Please leave me a comment to make my day!!

Friendship Friday!!

I have two cards to share with you today. This first one I made for my friend Erin (hi Erin!) We recently reconnected after about a year or so and it's great!! I missed her laugh, long talks and understanding. You know...when you find a 'true' friend that really gets you~ don't let them go!!!

This card was inspired by Mary Brown's shown here. I liked it so much that the only thing I changed was the color scheme...to make it seem more like Fall. I hope she likes it!

For this next card...I had received a call from my girlfriend Shelly (hi Shelly!!) while she was at work. She wasn't feeling very well and needed a 'pick me up'. Going home was not an option as she lives about 45 minutes from work~ so she had asked me if I could bring her some 'sunshine'. You know when it's that time of the month when us women feel miserable?? Here is the card that I made to bring a smile to her beautiful face!!

Googly Ghouls Treat Box and Card

Happy Wednesday!! I am tricking myself to be happy..mind over matter right? My neck is still a 'pain in the neck' I would say a wee bit better today so I decided to work on some Halloween treats. Here is a quick card today:

If you know me...then you know I HATE spiders...the real ones..but this little guy from Googly Ghouls is so stinkin' cute!

I made it to go along with this:

It's a treat box that I 'CASED' from Angie's '12 weeks of Halloween'.Click here for the tutorial.
Here is the inside:

I filled a cello bag with Reeses Pieces...and I ate the rest (YUM!)
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Googly Ghouls (128063)
Card Stock: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Tangerine Tango, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (126906)

Here are the eyeballs that I already had~

(as you can see....HUNDREDS!!) but you have to add glue to them!!!

So here are the Stampin' Up! Googlies (very cute name too!!) (item #127539)

These you just peel off and stick! I think the whole package is cute...they are silly the way the eyeballs jiggle all over the place...yes I am very easily amused! You get a package of 50 for only $2.50 (US)

Color Challenge CC395 'Heartfelt Thanks'

Today's quick and easy post...momma is 'no bueno' I can hardly move. But look at me go...in major pain...I STILL managed to stamp...have you stamped today??

Color Challenge CC395 'Perfect Summer Tango'~ this week's Color Challenge over on SCS is just that...to use Perfect Plum, Summer Starfruit and Tangerine Tango. My first thought screamed Halloween and to work I went...but then my stamping mojo stalled out on me...must have been the muscle relaxers!!

So I changed it up a bit...and added dessert! When the Color Challenge is created, there is sometimes a theme or technique..and sometimes there is an optional 'dessert' option. This weeks 'dessert' was to add a 4th color, Pool Party. So now we have a Perfect Summer Tango Party!

Here is what I came up with:

It was inspired by a card shown on pg. 143 in the last Idea Book & Catalog (2011-2012).
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Fabulous Phrases (120501 C)
Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit,Tangerine Tango, Perfect Plum, Vellum

I cut a smaller heart than the vellum one using Sahara Sand CS and covered it with snail adhesive, punched a bunch of tiny flowers...and covered the snail. Layered it onto the vellum heart and ta-da!!
Here is a close-up:

Easy and simple...what this girl needed today...as I am now heading back to bed to rest :(

Hoping tomorrow will be better!

Peek-a-Boo Owl

Singing..."Oh what a night..late December back in '63" (LOL)
Last night was my Holiday Stamp-a-Stack and it was quite a night...thank you all to who came out and 'suffered' through it!! It was pretty crazy~ who knew stampin' could be so stressful??
It was crazy fun...a whole lot of "pass me the scissors, can you hand me the snail...oops I messed up" etc. Here are the goodies for the games and door prize:

Upstairs as everyone arrived, they got started making the 'Holiday Gift Card Holders' posted here.

Then as people finished their stockings, they could head downstairs to my 'Stampin' Studio'...ummm it's really my basement...but calling it a 'studio' sounds better!! (wink)

There were three different stations to create their cards, (2 each of each design).

Thanks to everyone who came out and hopefully I will see you again Oct. for my Breast Cancer Awareness Stamp Camp. BIG hugs!!

 

Now...here is such a clever idea I got from a fellow demonstrator Emma Fewkes . She has an amazing blog and I fell in love with this idea about a year ago~ printed off her PDF instructions and then stashed it away in my 'to-create' pile. Do you have one of those?? So here we are a year or so later, I sat down to give it a try...and love it!! I showed the kids who also loved it and suggested that I do a video tutorial on this...I contacted Emma and asked if she would mind, she gave me her blessing so that is what I will be sharing with you early in the week. Thanks again Emma!!
Here is the card closed:

Here it is open:

I told you it is freaking cute!!!

On the left side I will write something like..."Guess Whooo's" then you see the "Thinking of You" sentiment stamped on the right.

So Sorry~Serene Silhouettes

A quick post today, I have loads of laundry that need tending to, a house to clean and errands to run. I also have Bunco this evening~ it's a busy day today!! You want to know what all that means?? That I will do a 'few' loads of laundry...wash the dishes (maybe) and stamp the rest of the day till Bunco! 

I LOVE this stamp set:

Me gusta mucho!! Muy bueno...and no I don't speak spanish!

It's called Serene Silhouettes and the gallery over on SCS is AMAZING...for not only this set!! Anyway...I was inspired by this card. I liked hers so much that decided to try it.

I like sponges over using the brayer, I always end up with lines that I can't stand...much smoother look with a sponge (for me anyway!). This card came together pretty quickly and the sentiment was a perfect match to the branches~ 'So Sorry' is another great stamp set...there are a bunch of good ones in there for the inside (I was thoughtless, I forgot, for your loss etc.) Oops...I did it again..(LOL) I spritzed it with some shimmer!!
Here is a close-up: I love the way the shimmer is picked up in the flash...so purdy!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Serene Silhouettes (127324 C), So Sorry (126527 C)
Card Stock: More Mustard, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Ink: Soft Suede, More Mustard, Early Espresso, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight
Access: 3/8" Soft Suede taffeta ribbon (122967), 1 1/4" circle punch (119861), Champagne Mist shimmer paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol)

Have a great day!!
I have a REALLY cute card that I will share with you tomorrow~ it might make you 'freak' your freak out!!

It's hard to tell from the photo~ I used the sponge dauber to apply the Frost White Shimmer paint to the 'swirly' image from the Everything Eleanor stamp set. It's so pretty IRL (in real life).
